    Will other teams make draft mistakes because of Josh?

    Bingo. And that same organization was so comfortable with Peterman & a raw rookie in Allen that they felt fine ditching AJ McCarron, not signing any veterans, and going into the season with 2 inexperienced QBs with what, 2 full games as a pro under their belts? 

    They felt fine with this knowing we had a porous O-line, one of the worst WR corps I've ever seen fielded and had no backup plan in case things went sour...leaving them scrambling to sign Derek Anderson out of retirement, then Matt Barkley off the park bench.

    The way things played out was VERY Bills-like, and it could've gone the way of the Jets, ruining their potential franchise QB. Thankfully they learned from their mistakes & didn't get Josh killed in year 2, and did everything they could up through this year to get additional help. Other teams might not be so fortunate if they go the same route.

    Yes, it was a ship headed towards the rocks there for a while, very Billsy I might add, but luckily for Mcbeane, Josh and us they righted the ship with good course corrections. 
     

    Did we luck out or was it this the outcome all along...

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Your wrong, Losman couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.  Just too inaccurate.  I remember running on a tread mill next to Van Miller one time.  This was the summer of Losman's second season.  I asked him if JP had a chance to be good.  He said & I quote "No, just too inaccurate & I just don't see that improving."  

     

    Manuel, ask any FSU fan on here.   This guy was a converted receiver out of necessity due to injuries.  Jimbo ran a dumbed down offense for him.  He won a lot of games because that team was stacked.  Watch the difference in the offense in EJ's last year at FSU compared to the year after when Winston took over & won the NC.  It was so obvious that Jimbo trusted Winston much more.  He opened up the offense with him under center and the results were terrific.  

     

    It is pure fallacy that all qbs drafted in the first round have sufficient physical talent.  They don't.   

    Actually it is you who is wrong.  
     

    They lacked the capacity to implement what their coaches where teaching, both Losman and Manual were amply strong, they just couldn’t learn how to do it correctly, hence cognitive talent...  

     

    Brains my friend brains, it’s the thing that controls the muscles... Allen used his brain to control his musculature, and lifted himself out of the big strong guy with limited capacity category,  it’s that simple. And because of that cognitive talent Allen is now considered a top three QB in the league.

     

    Go Bills!!!

    We have a qb on a rookie deal and have $30m in extra talent on the roster compared to a team with a vet qb 

     

    >  We have a franchise QB on a rookie deal. 

     

    That is what makes this tick....Ben, Rodgers, Wilson, Mahomes all won the Super Bowl for their teams on their rookie deals.   The Bills need to do the same this year or next year

    You have to view Beane's success in

     

    * Draft

    * FA signings 

    * Trades 

    * UDFA signings

     

    The success of each component attributes to the fact that the coach and the GM are on the same page.

    Yup, and the Beane McDermott team is doing quite well👍

    What am I making this into?

     

     

    My point is he's not John Brown and he's had his fair share of struggles. None of that is untrue.

     

     

     

    It wasn't one game.... he's had a few drops this year, has struggled to separate, and isn't the most aggressive reciever.( See Allens INT against Arizona.) 

     

    All I'm suggesting is this team needs John Brown if they are going to make a deep playoff run. 

    You enjoy making mountains out of mole hills, Brown , Beasley and Diggs have had numerous drops as well, it’s frankly normal that receivers drop passes, it ain’t great but it’s nothing to get up about, it just is. 

     

    Go Bills!!!

    He had one drop that hit him right in the hands in the first half on 3rd down that would’ve been a first down.... but yes I’d rest Brown until the week 17 if he is fully healthy and give him a few snaps. 

    Give it a break Scott, all receivers drop good passes, let’s not go making this into something it isn’t, By the way how many TDs has he scored??

     

    Six TDs in 13 games as a rookie, that’s how many...

     

    Go Bills!!!

    The test will be sustaining success with little cap room after Allen gets paid.... Beane hit big time on Allen but his overall drafts have been pretty average, IMO. 

    One would have to objectively compare Beane with 31 other GMs over the same duration, and their teams success rate on drafted players, I suspect Beane is In the top thirty percent of GMs, jmo.
